2018 New Apple Awards - Official Selection: Mystery

"...a wonderful escape filled with all of the drama of a soap opera and reality TV show with the added mystery often seen in a Hallmark movie."

"A wholesome mystery with a hint of romance, this second book in the 'My Almost Royal American Cousin' series is lighthearted escapism and I found it thoroughly entertaining."

"The narrative segues smoothly between the comic and the pulse-quickening, and is packed with incidents. Addictively readable. I'm sure Harry and Megan will enjoy it."

American heiress Gemma Lancaster Phillips, PhD, can tell you that owning and running a large estate is much less glamorous than it sounds. Her ancestral home of Cherrywood Hall is stunning, but Gemma knows how much hard work her cousin, Lord Evan Lancaster, and his estate manager, Kyle Williams, put into maintaining the sprawling location.

Castlewood Manor, on the other hand, is all the glamour with none of the grit. The period drama television series is set to film in Cherrywood Hall and bring millions of pounds into the local community. The only problem is that someone wants to see the production shut down permanently and is willing to kill for it!

Gemma isn't about to let a murderer run rampant through the halls of her family's estate. When Scotland Yard's own Chief Inspector Marquot solicits her advice, she once again enlists the help of Evan and Kyle to catch the culprit.

Egotistical actors, a royal it-girl, rival estate owners, and even a family ghost spring up to help or hinder Gemma on her quest for the truth.

Will it be enough to show Gemma just what kind of evil has been brought to Cherrywood Hall?

"There is murder, mystery and mayhem in this wonderful cosy romance. If you like fashion, glamour and champagne, then this book is for you."
